The non-fraternity and non-so-rity students, approximately 75 r cent of the entire Trojan stunt body, were given the oppor-.nity to voice their collective opin-n of the value of an organization r non-orgs. Only 45 ballots were ceived in the three voting boxes.
^n students voted ‘•no" indicating negative interest in the proposal; non-orgs expressed an interest joining a non-Greek organized •oup by a “yes" vote.

Religious ‘Christus’ Presented by Town, Gown in Ceremony
“The Christus,” a silver plaque by Noble Roger Burnham, designer of the Trojan statue, was unveiled yesterday afternoon in the Little Chapel of Silence and presented to the university by Town and Gown in candlelight ceremony. The plaque, 5 feet in height, depicts the smiling Christ standing with hands outstretched.
A reception and addresses in the Fover of the Town and Gown followed the dedication. The Rev. James H. Friedrich, one of the ten outstanding men in the religious field as listed by the Episcopal church last year, spoke on the “Ethical Value of Motion Pictures as Applied to Children.”
FILM IMMORALITY CITED
“The immorality of the future is being molded by motion pictures of today,” he said. “Eight million children toddle yearly across the threshold of our theatres and are being influenced by a great industry — the motion picture. Eighty-five per cent of what we leam comes through our eyes. The pow-| er of suggestion is a great thing. It can build or destroy.”
In discussing pictures injurious to children, the Rev. Mr. Friedrich named gangster pictures first. The destructive ideas which they promote are more disastrous to children than a bomb and are harder to escape, he said.

Heavy Rains/ Storm Batter Southland
Surf Causes Damage Along Local Coast; Beaches Threatened
By United Press
Valiev rivers, fed by heavy snows and rain in the mountains, rose alarmingly in some California areas last night as a new Pacific storm moved swiftly toward the coastline to replace the one still drenching the state.
The US Weather Bureau predicted cloudy weather Wednesday with snow in the Sierra Nevadas and possible showers in scattered areas. By Thursday the new storm —if it keeps coming without breaking up — may strike the state with a renewed downpour of heavy rains and snow.

Boy, Girl Problems Discussed by Professor
How the girl can keep the boy from kissing her good night' when he takes her home, how to get votes for student offices, how to be a guest that will get a second invitation, how to be dated, danced and dined, how to end a romantic friendship. . .
These are the practical problems young students are interested in today, according to Dr. Claude C. Crawford. SC professor of education. who has recently written a book. “Living Your Life.” which is to be used as a text for 9th and 10th grade orientation classes in high schools.
The book, published by the D. C. Heath and Company, was written by Dr. Crawford in colaboration with C. C. Trillingham. assistant superintendent and director of secondary education of Los Angeles county schools; and Miss Ethel G. Cooley, teacher at Fullerton high school and junior college.
The book was based, according to Dr. Crawford, on surveys made by Miss Cooley and Trillingham. at Beverly Hills. Inglewood. Puente Union, and Fullerton high schools, on what students were most interested in learning.

St. Anne’s Fugue ______________________Bach
This fugue has not the brilliancy of the D major fugue or the D minor toccata, nor the bouyant tunefulness of the G minor fugue, and it gives comparatively little scope for technical display, either in manuals or pedals. It is probable that it owes much of its vogue to its apparent connection with Croft’s hymn tune, “O God, our help in ages past.” The historians all afcree that Bach could hardly have heard Croft’s tune, and it seems more probable it is that of an old German choral. It is a fugue in three sections, and sometimes called a triple fugue, but in reality it is not, as the subjects which open the sections are not’ heard together. The most accurate description would be to call it a double fugue, with three subjects.
